Lunch with Casey, shopping with Katie, the blue dress from Banana, Trader Joe's having my favorite Spanish wine, burgers with Havarti cheese, my sister's Ireland pics, New Girl, and the Mindy finale all came together to make today a beautiful, wonderful day.

I love being back home. <3

Ah today is Thursday which means tomorrow is Friday which means we're going to Bettendorf to spend time with my future in-laws as well as Julia and Bryce and Julia! I'm so excited about that. I haven't seen Casey's parents since the engagement so that'll be really nice, and it's always great to see our friends. What a great coincidence that we can ( Read more... )

Casey and I are rocking Lego Star Wars. I'm so glad I bought that game for us! Time does go by too quickly when we play it though... anyway, time to read while he's at his matinee, so that when he comes home we can make French Onion Soup!!!! I bought broth and wine for cooking tonight - I'm glad we won't need the whole bottle for the soup, cause I ( Read more... )

I don't have class today!!!!

So, I am DEAD exhausted because watching The Departed sucked all the energy and emotion out of my body tonight, but I want to make a quick list of the day to remember how good it was ( Read more... )

So tomorrow is my last full day at home! Instead of being sentimental, or sad, stressed out about packing those last things, I am just going to wake up, spend all day with my family getting done what needs to get done, and have a great day ( Read more... )

It was a recipe for a nice night with friends, definitely, Especially when the wine is AWFUL and from a jug with a cap/cork Maggie R. bought for $4 called "Inglenook." HAHA Inglenook. Gross. Good time tonight with Dan, Maggie R, Bryce, and Julia, as we stayed iced into clock tower hall ( Read more... )

While Heather's birthday was BEYOND FUN, getting tipsy and then staying up til like past two makes for an exhausted morning. Megan and I arrived at class a half hour early (forgot Wednesdays are at 9:30...) so we had time to read and review, which helped for the quiz. I'm a little worried about the midterm, but there is much studying in my future ( Read more... )

SO my parents came back with a Box full of various bottles of wine after their wine purchasing spree, as they are wont to do, and they had a surprise for me - A little bottle of Retsina! Not the brand we drank in Greece, but still, it says Product of Greece, and PET(sigma)INA KPA(sigma)I and that was good enough for me! So here I am drinking it and ( Read more... )
